Mediterranean Baked Salmon with Feta & Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed or rehydrated if dry)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease.
- Prepare salmon:
- Pat salmon fillets dry and place in the baking dish.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Rub minced garlic evenly over the fillets.
- Add toppings:
- Sprinkle chopped sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese over each fillet.
- Add olives and parsley if using.
- Place lemon slices on top of or around the salmon.
- Bake:
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with your choice of side: roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
✅ Tips:
- For extra flavor, drizzle a little balsamic reduction over the salmon before serving.
- You can broil for 1–2 minutes at the end to get a slightly golden top.
- Substitute goat cheese for feta for a creamier texture.
I can also provide a sheet pan Mediterranean salmon dinner version that includes vegetables roasting alongside the salmon for a one-pan meal.
Do you want me to provide that sheet pan version?
